Job Description

Here is work for a technician who can find a leak fast and gas a system up properly, with the residential aircon installer in Johannesburg CBD. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Johannesburg CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Replace thermostatic expansion valves and electronic controllers
  • Service cold rooms, display fridges and freezers on planned maintenance routes
  • Complete service reports on a tablet and have the site manager sign them
  • Diagnose faulty compressors, fans, contactors and control boards
  • Commission new systems and show the client how to use the controls

What you need

  • SAQCC Gas registration as an authorised person for refrigerants
  • Comfortable on roofs and ladders in summer heat
  • Code 08 driver's licence, since the job is mostly on the road
  • Understanding of single- and three-phase control circuits
  • Brazing, flaring and vacuum skills you can demonstrate

Nice if you have

  • Experience with VRF systems or chillers
  • CO2 transcritical refrigeration experience in retail stores

What's in it for you

  • Gauge manifold, vacuum pump and recovery unit issued to you
  • Manufacturer training on new equipment ranges
  • Standby pay for weekend fridge breakdowns
  • Company vehicle with a fitted tool rack
